Increase text size As the busiest travel week of the year kicks off in the United States, American outrage about new airport security measures is reaching such a fever pitch that even President Barack Obama has asked authorities to consider less invasive screening methods.

The latest tale of a passenger degraded by airport security emerged this weekend when a bladder cancer survivor told how he was recently left humiliated, weeping and drenched in his own urine when officials in Detroit inadvertently broke the seal of his urostomy bag during a pat-down.

So sad...........TSA is trying to keep passingers safe because our enemies are trying to kill us and we are all mad at TSA.

Are American not angry at the wrong group? We can't "profile" because it is an invasion of the bombers rights. We can not search a person in musilin clothing because "it is an invasion of their right". THe innocent passingers are the ones who will suffer and the enemy will find another way to try to hurt Americans.

Amytime we have law breakers who continue to make their own rules, it always hurts the inocent and those who follow the rules. .

Your English is very poor. Are you from India and working for the Indian company that makes the body scanners to begin with?

There are so many other ways that the TSA could keep us safe. They outlawed these "scanners" at Heathrow in London over 4 years ago and they are rated as one of the safest airports in the world.

It is just a hoax to see how they can "behavior modification" us to give away our liberties.
